The BS Pipeline

It’s non stop

Here is CNN: https://www.cnn.com/

Here is Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/

CNN chooses the story where armed right wingers are featured. They have links to “charges against officers aren’t enough”, “police are abusing people” and their typical anti-trump firehose

Fox repeatedly refers solely to all of this as riots and looting. Sole reference to the word “protest” is in the link to the story about how protestors tried to prevent a child from being rescued

Wake. Up.
You’re being used as a pawn. And it’s getting harder and harder to recognize it. You need the people around you to help recognize your own unconscious bias, take a moment and imagine that the person you think is a s%#tstick on this forum might actually be right, even if just a little bit. You might be surprised at what kind of doors it opens.

At least they both have the decency to encrypt the session you use to read their crap.

this is why i start my news day with the BBC world service then bounce around to see whats being covered or Not .. Most conservatives think anyone who doesn't agree with them must be watching MSNBC the Fox equivalent . as their only source of news ... and any link from any other actual news source other than fox is labeled as Fake News ..

Rational people can not make inroads with people who's Ideas of the world are boxed off from the reality around them.. and validlated by Trump for a vote Lie or truth whatever works thats his motto

I feel like ever since Trump took over CNN has become the Fox equivalent, and intentionally at that.

Lol, I’m sorry, I didn’t even think about that/notice it/check it when I wrote this. It was intended to represent the only thing they seem to have in common is security. I promise I wouldn’t go that low on you given all you do to connect us as a community. That’d be some harsh s$&t right there.

That being said, if you’d ever like some help getting that set up, I’d be happy to see if my assistance makes some kind of difference. Now that you’ve brought it up I’m just staring at the triangle in my Chrome browser address bar

tough day for the leftist insurrection yesterday....every time they get rolling down hill to destroy America they hit a big speed bump and America pushes pack....great job numbers....stock market liked it...parts of America suffering democrat dictatorship continue to destroy themselves...can't wait till they demand bailouts guess the left is gonna have to work even harder to destroy the economy and turn supporters against the president


In a development that is sure to baffle the mainstream media and liberal elites, President Donald Trump appears to have gained an unprecedented approval rating among black voters of 41% including 25% who “strongly support” Trump.

Oops

When the U.S. government’s official jobs report for May came out on Friday, it included a note at the bottom saying there had been a major “error” indicating that the unemployment rate likely should be higher than the widely reported 13.3 percent rate.
The special note said that if this “misclassification error” had not occurred, the “overall unemployment rate would have been about 3 percentage points higher than reported,” meaning the unemployment rate would be about 16.3 percent for May.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the agency that puts out the monthly jobs reports, said it was working to fix the problem.

You equate Tweety with the economy, he’s failing on every side.
Though he has successfully built a wall, around the White House.

Don’t forget Tweety refused to release the economic forecast for the next quarter, much like he didn’t release the DNI’s report on National Security.

Powerful video. Not even very long. Wrong narrative though. It's not about rubber bullets and tear gas. And not about Trump "failing on all sides." And not pointing out that it's Trump that is dividing us all.

Didn't we have all this kind of nonsense that's going on now repeated several times before Trump came along? Somehow he's the reason for it?

Nah, they won't like the video, won't watch it, say it's no big deal. Just one black man . . . the usual head in the sand denial that puts a dent in their get-Trump-at-all-costs mentality. Integrity, which they claim as their core, and which they claim Trump has none, only counts if it helps you to win, even if you're victory is based on lies.

Conservatives do love their needle in a haystack stories .. they love finding that one doctor or scientist, or in this case a person of color . who see the world as they do as evidence as all other people of color are wrong and haven't experienced what they say they've experienced...

Whites are using Candace Owen's views for the same benefit

Trump shares Candace Owens interview saying ‘George Floyd was not a good person’

Your goodness you race your religion or where you live should not be used to quantify or justify being killed by law enforcement or by anyone for that matter


World wars have started and governments overthrown because those at the top or the elites look down on their fellow citizens from their ivory towers ... over issues such as this. And These protest have gone global ,, must be Antifa

Told ya, Scott . . . they got no clue what was really in the video (or, if they watched it, would rather not discuss it). wdmso with his usual "needle in a hastack" nonsense and Spence with his slicker put down--amazing how the "queen of context," as JohnR once characterized him, pulls a tiny portion out of its meaningful context, totally gutting Tatum's point. But that's how the left operates--marginalize, ridicule, slant and lie.

Watched the whole thing as for nonsense thats all coming from you .. whats there to discuss? You posted that to renforce your narrative of see heres a responsible black person . End of topic seen the same tactics all over facebook to include his past crimes used to minimize his killing or whats 1 less thug off the street


I read this some place

If the aftermath of floyds death upsets you more than his death and how he died. thats the bigger problem
